This is an old article, originally written by Jon Burgess in June, 2004. We now consider Google PageRank to be very weak, and we only use it to blink-compare like pages. It is one of hundreds of triggers Google now includes in its algorithm.

Google ranks pages based on how important they are to the world. This is done with a complex and very secret math equation. The basic ingredients include content richness, page authority, keyword density, back links, exit links, traffic, and search demand. No body outside of Google knows the exact formula, but here at RedFusion Media, we have followed and studied Google for years.

So, Wine-blog is a mediocre center page rank, as is everything else about it in here is, too; but, let’s not tell David E. anything except the $3,718 value. We don’t want to disrupt the good news for him.
